Plaga's Eddington-limit mechanism
The argument
Because linked claim, a micro black hole trapped inside a white dwarf or neutron star would grow so slowly that the star's destruction timescale would exceed its observed age by a factor of 10^10 or more, while the hole's radiated luminosity would remain far below astronomical detectability; on this reasoning, the survival and appearance of observed stars carry no signature of such objects.

The inference is conditionally sound: if accretion inside dense stars were genuinely capped at the Eddington luminosity, slow growth and low luminosity would plausibly follow, though even then the conclusion of full observational evasion is overstated, since Eddington-limited emission at the scenario's own figures would remain detectable in white dwarfs and neutron stars. The argument stands or falls with the premise that micro black hole accretion in dense stars is Eddington-limited, which is contradicted: radiation in optically thick degenerate interiors is trapped and advected inward, and dedicated analyses uniformly find approximately Bondi-rate, hyper-Eddington accretion. With its only premise contradicted, the argument carries no remaining weight.
